Less than 2 days into the voyage and I've lost track of time already! It's 1030 on Sunday morning. The temperature is climbing, smooth sea with a following wind. I can just see the coast line - reckon we're 30 nautical miles off shore heading north outside the reef for the moment. We will have to go inside the reef to round Cape York. Must say though the water looks suspiciously light green!
Meanwhile the morning moves anti clockwise around the Promenade Deck (7). It's quite a sight and lasts a couple of hours. Some super-fit oldies - jogging, determined couples pushing their bodies to the limit, others staggering round as best they can.
At buffet breakfast this morning - I overheard an old dear telling another couple that her husband in his nineties is in a home and that this is her 33rd cruise!
I'm finding myself strangely inhibited and alone - but why should that surprise me - I'm either out there or introverted,
Haven't seen any sea life yet - no whales or dolphins. Looking forward to being where the flying fish play.
There are enough people her to work up a few characters and possibly even a story or two.
Meanwhile your humble scribe will continue his observations.

Wow I'm enjoying sharing this experience with you David. I'm certain you will not be feeling alone much longer. It sounds like fun and I will continue to be with you every step of the way (only on the other side of the computer). Have fun.... Jos
